Project Overview
The City of Tacoma will work with a consultant to develop an ADA Transition Plan and Self-Evaluation that meets all state and federal requirements. The Self-Evaluation component of the ADA Transition Plan will be a comprehensive assessment of all facets of accessibility in Tacoma’s public right-of-way. It will include measurements of accessibility criteria for sidewalks, curb ramps, traffic signals, bus stops, and driveway curb cuts in the public right-of-way, as well as an assessment of existing policies and procedures. The Self-Evaluation phase will also include a significant public outreach and involvement effort to assist the City in identifying issues and prioritizing projects.
Other components of the ADA Transition Plan will identify all barriers to accessibility in the public right-of-way, describe methods that will be used to achieve accessibility, create a prioritized schedule to remove barriers, and identify the person responsible for the implementation of the plan. The plan will incorporate City of Tacoma actions and policies outlined in the Vision Zero Plan, Transportation Master Plan, and Comprehensive Plan.
